Ingredients

1 (10-ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped (oil reserved)
1 small onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup tomato paste
2/3 cup dry white wine
8 ounces angel hair pasta
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces soft fresh goat cheese, coarsely crumbled
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves

Directions

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the wine and sun-dried tomatoes and simmer until the liquid reduces by half, about 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of cooking liquid. Add the pasta to the tomato mixture and toss to coat, adding some reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Season the pasta, to taste, with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the goat cheese and parsley and stir. Mound the pasta into bowls and serve.

STILL THE ONE
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I reviewed this recipe earlier(9/16/06) I just need to do a follow up review. After three years, I am still getting requests... for this dish. It's always "make the sundried tomatoe thing" In 2006 I only tried recipes marked "easy", now I will try even expert recipes. But degree of difficulty doesn't always mean better. This is so simple to make and yet so full of complex flavors. Thank you Giada, you made a beginner look like an expert 3 years ago.Read more

HUGE hit with the family and guests!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Everyone LOVED this! It went perfect with the smoked brisket and grilled corn on the cob. I used a medium onion and added... extra garlic. But I was ecstatic over the realistic prep and cooking time! Super easy too!!! Read more

Not Impressed
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

When I first read the recipe, I thought it sounded like it would taste like tomato paste and pasta. With all the great... reviews, I hoped I was wrong. I wasn't wrong--it turned out just as I suspected it would. The sauce is thick, just like tomato paste. Angel hair is way too delicate of a pasta for such a thick sauce. I would suggest spaghetti. My meal tasted just like spaghetti sauce out of a jar (but dry) with goat cheese on top, which honestly didn't really work with the sauce. I also thought the chopped Italian parsley looked beautiful, but it added a very disagreeable taste to my pasta. I have used Italian parsley in other recipes, and usually it just blends in with the food. It is entirely the wrong herb for this pasta dish. Next time, for the sauce I am going to try using chopped up fresh tomato with just a touch of tomato paste to thicken. Hopefully this will lighten up the recipe. I feel like I have a brick sitting in the bottom of my stomach right now.Read more
